If you haven't heard of the smash-hit, Tony Award-winning musical Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda, you must have been living under a rock for the past year. The musical has been sold out since it's off-broadway run at the Public Theater in New York City, and tickets are re-selling on apps like StubHub for an average of $700 each. So most likely, you can't get a ticket, and are looking for a way to be a part of the Hamilton craze. Here's the good news for you: there is a way! Here are five places you can visit during your Hamiltrip to embrace both the musical and the history that it's based upon.

1. The Richard Rodgers Theater

Hamilton is currently playing at the Richard Rodgers Theater on West 46th St. in New York City. This is a great place to start your Hamiltrip. The doors of the theater feature silhouettes of many of the characters from the show, which is a great photo spot. You can also try the in-person lottery, although it is usually very crowded, especially on days when there is a Ham4Ham show.

2. The Public Theater

The off-Broadway run of Hamilton was at the Public Theater on Lafayette St. in New York City. Although the show is no longer still running there, it is still a cool stop for your Hamiltrip because it is a vital part of the history of Hamilton. There is also a restaurant inside of the theater, called The Library, which is a unique dining experience.

3. Hamilton Grange National Memorial

The Hamilton Grange National Memorial on West 141st St. in New York City features Alexander Hamilton's home (as featured in "It's Quiet Uptown.") The rooms are furnished with some of the Hamilton's belongings. There is also a gallery that highlights some of the major events of Hamilton's life, and a short introductory film. Tours are limited to groups of 15, so it is recommended that you arrive early due to the large crowds. Hamilton Grange is run by the National Park Service and is free to the public.

4. Trinity Church

Alexander Hamilton, Eliza Schuyler-Hamilton, Angelica Schuyler-Church, and Hercules Mulligan are all buried in Trinity Church. Their graves can be found outside the church, and you can leave flowers at the gravesites. The church itself is beautiful and worth taking a look around.

5. Federal Hall

Federal Hall is where George Washington was sworn in as president, and currently features an exhibit on Alexander Hamilton. The guided tour also features a section on Hamiton's establishment of the National Bank. Federal Hall is also part of the National Park system, so tours are free to the public.

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
